LarryBird Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Thailand is a country on its own with good points and bad points. It seems there are people on this forum that think it's either all bad, or all good. But, facts are facts. It doesn't matter what happens 'in the west' , or that America has started some wars that you may or may not disagree with. If you told me breath smelled, or someone else's breath smelled, it's either true or false. It doesn't matter if someone else has sweaty armpits, or if you have acne. It may however be interesting to talk about why my breath smelled. I didn't brush my teeth, i have a medical condition, I just drank 3 cups of coffee, etc etc.. But, in defense of your smelly breath, some of you would mention that your neighbor hit his wife. It actually has nothing to do with it, and is counterproductive to talk about it.. examples of typical TV threads A: 'There's a lot of littering in Thailand..' B:' America pollutes the world with it's factories and burning of fossil fuels' -- I mean, can we not all agree that littering is bad? I'm not saying why it happens, or having a holier than thou standpoint, but if we can't at least agree that it's gross to look at, what could we possibly agree on to start with a logical discussion? A: 'My wife just got handed cash to vote for a local candidate' B ' In the west we're all bought through media advertising' B may or not be true, but it actually has nothing to do with A. Again, can we not all agree that this is not the practice in an ideal world? And another thing, in 'the west', a lot of people are working at curbing campaign contributions... For example, it could make sense to just give each candidate a certain amount of $$ to work with, and have them manage the budget.. The difference is, it could happen, and if it does, the rules will for the most part be followed, and if they're broken, the law will most likely be enforced. Also note, Thai people don't like these elections being bought like this either. A:' IMy neighbors boyfriend left her with three kids and he doesn't send any money to help support them' B: ' It happens everywhere, you don't understand Thai Culture.' These are the people that love to explain to everyone the differences in eastern and western culture.. They know everything, and have seen it all, and anyone the least bit disturbed or confused by something is an ignorant farang looking to impose their values on these happy and kind people. A: Wow, these roads are crazy, I just saw two horrible accidents on the way home. B: Car accidents happen everywhere. Yes, but, it's a matter of rates.. You could meet a German person in Thailand, or you could meet one in Germany... Where are your chances greater of it happening? I In a slightly different topic, there was even a recent thread a guy started where he said that since he was able to buy his way into school for his wife's kid, that corruption sometimes works!!! Are some of you really in need of an ethics class this badly that you can't see the problem with this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You believe the 'usual suspects' and their total meanderings on sweet sod all to do with the original post 'fun'? I'll take the trouble to click on a headline if I find it mildly interesting but hardly ever bother to follow the thread after a certain number of boring bickering posts.

rct99q Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 The zit on my ass seems to be getting bigger....last week it was about the size of small pea....now it is nearly double that....I would consider popping it but I prefer corn. Then again a good shot of coffee and I am good as gold, at perhaps 20 baht, I may have gotten ripped off! Any suggestions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thequietman Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I love the apologists favorite line, " it just doesn't happen here, it happens all over the world." It doesn't seem to matter that this is the THAIvisa forum and is for all matters relevant to Thailand. Still good for a giggle though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You missed a couple of commas. You need a period after "back ground" instead of a comma, and it this case I think background should be one word and not two. You need a gap between a period and the next sentence. The correct spelling is "lurk", not "lerk". And, "wether" needs an "H" after the "W".
